The New York Time of the lSthdirccta
attention to scheme Mid to exiat in tbr
brain of leading Republicans to secure
part ascendancy in Congress by the direct
vet of Congress in the matter of laying ofl
Congressional districts in certain States.
Tbe scheme is repreatnted to be "that
Congress thai divide the different State
into Congressional districts. Where State
districting is unsatisfactory .Congress will
rediatrict the State."
. The authority to do thie is claimed an
dcr Sec. 4 of Article 11 of the Constitu
tion, which says "the times, placet and
manner of holding elections for senators
' and fepresentativcashaUljeprearribed by
each State by the legislature thereof; bat
the Congress may at any time make or
alter auch regulations, except as to the
place of cbooaing senators."
This section waa the subject of serious
objection and long debate intjit(tte1
convention nm ioinr.ooro, in June,
1788; and afcrtfct convention, the Fed-
. : . i i i m 1 i .
eral jowjfitntion submitted for adoption
Wfae rejected by a large majority, it may
be assumed that the objections raised to
this section were not removed by the ar
guments and explanations used in its fa
vor, It is easy to believe that men who
entered so eiirnestly into the struggle (or
liberty were not ready to yield the fruit
of it to a power of their own creation
stronger and more capable of mischief,
by the adoption of the section proposed,
than the on they had thrown off. Mr.
Siwikw thought that "the words of the
section were so vague and uncertain, that
it must ultimately destroy the whole
liberty of the United States. It strikes
at (he very existence of the States, and
upTrvettes the necessity of having them
at an." Mr. Bloodworth thought that
"elections may be in such a manner that
: men may lie appointed who ar not ren-
feprraentatives of the people," and that
J'the manner of election may be so devised
Tnai every own jit ion or men u may or
t. . . , i . . a .
westred to exclude, may be deburred from
voting." ' , - '
The anxiety of such mind and speakers
as Iredell, Mailaine, lavis and other ol
almost equal eminence, to obtain tlie
earfty of a permanent gtrvemment, sc
curing harmony at home and restiect
abroad, urged thcrn to strong and able
drfence of the section. As it retains it
place in the adopted "constitution In its
original form, we may assume that all
olijections were overruled in a majority
of the State conventions.
. Vet it now might appear that the ap
prehensions of the opponent of this sec
tion were not groundless, and that those
who placidly relied upon the good faith
of Congress to abstain from the permis
sive power given in the lost clause of the
paragraph, "at any time by luw to make
or alter auch regulations," except in re la
wn 19 senators, were too confiding m
the political virtue of Congress. The first
paragraph give to the States a positive
power to preseril all that i necessary
as to the time, places and manner of
holding elections. This powerbeingdefin-
itc, the right and wisdom of taking away
with one hand what was given by the
other doe not seem clearer or more cer
tain now than at the time it wns ob
jected. The contingence are so rare
when Congress ia justified in exercising its
alternative power over the times, places
and manner of holding elections, that its
se, except under the contingencies tug
grated, is palpable usurpation. In times
of peace, there w no pretext or juatifica
twa for departure from recognised meth
ods. It hi violent and dangerous disturb
ance of the settled order of things, with
aim and object to parte interest. That
the Republican party fr capable of dan
gerous and disreputable "net hods to se
cure it power we have many examples,
as, for instance, mulct this very clause,
the claim to conduct Congressional elec
tions underthrcyeof Federal sii(ervinor8.
The power of the Slute to control
power constitutionally lodged in them to
regulate elections ought' not to be con
trued away by a contrary jKTiniiwivc
clause of a previous positive declaration
of an absolute right, ftir then "the State
governments are not sufficiently secured,
and may be swallowed up by t lie great
mass of power gi ven to Congress.
The Republican leaders may attempt
the monstrous wrong. We hare a too
abiding faith in that inherent sense of
right and lilicrty abiding In the American
people, Democrats and Kcptililk-ans alike,
to fear the succea of thr scheme.
Admiral Taylor, whose death is an
nounced, wns born in Rhode Island in
181 1 and entered the navy a midship
man in IBM, He served as a Lieutenant
m the war with Mexico and was present
at the siege of Vera Cms. During the
civil war he served with the squadron oft
Charleston, ami in January, 18(13, be en
gaged a rebel ram with the rlousiitonic.
He was Fleet Captain under Admiral
Dahlgreen during the operations against
Morris Island and was in the battle with
Forta Wagner und Sumter. He com
mandrd the Junhia in the attack on Port
Fisher. Since the war he has served in
various enpacttar, including that of
commander of the Asiatic and South At
lantic stations. He was made a com
mander in 1855, Captain in 1800, and
a Reat Admiral ia 1871, serving m the
Utter gtfcd abowt two years before he
was placed on the retired list.
I DITOMUl. POINT.
The twentj new war vessels, large and
mall, to be immediately constructed by
the I'nited States government will cost
$11,600,000 exclusive of armament.
This ia not extravagant. One of the
great Atlantic steamers often cost a
million and a half.
a
Rev. R. Ilelier Newton has written a
rcmarluilile on Bnritualism, He
declare that it is here, that it has come
to stay, and thai it has come at the very
time when, if it be what it claims to be,
it is most imperatively needed. But
whether it be what it claims to be,
Mr. Newton neither affirms nor denies.
He says the subject has passed the stage
for sneering.
According to the New York Sun Herr
Von Bulow ha won one triumph in
America that has as yet been unchroni-
ded. On' Tuesday afternoon when the
crowded audience listened silently to his
wonderful shadings, all over the bouse,
up in the galleries, down intheorchestra,
on either side of the balcony, mice came
running out to bear him play, as their
ancestor came out to bear the great
master, Moiart, long ago.

The New York World snys: "Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett is very anxious
to write the great American novel. To
this end she sicnds a great deal of time
in Knglnnd. She is convinced that the
novel referred to will have an English
background, with an American girl as
the heroine. An English peer will lie the
American girl's husband, and a clever
American adventurer will be the hero of
the story. All this is interesting enough
but Mrs. Burnett is working on a wrong
basi. The great American novel will
have New York for a background and a
woman will not write it." From this re
mark we infer that tlie World's next
serial will "have New York for a back
ground and a womun will not write it."
